One of the most innovative finishing moves in the history of pro wrestling is the Razor's Edge, an impressive looking piece of offense made famous by Razor Ramon, aka Scott Hall.

The move is equal parts showy and devastating, and it begins with the wrestler hoisting his opponent over his head as if to deliver a powerbomb, but the opponent drops all the way down so the wrestler is holding him up over his head by his arms. The second part of the move involves the wrestler driving his opponent down into the mat with the top of the back making contact and taking the blow.

Razor Ramon used the move to finish off a number of opponents during his storied pro wrestling career, and the move has been seldom used following Ramon's retirement from wrestling.

WWE star Sheamus used the move for a short period of time, calling it The Celtic Cross, but for reasons unknown, The Celtic Warrior dropped the move from his arsenal, favoring The Brogue Kick instead.

One current WWE star who is in bad need of freshening up, and potentially a reboot, is Elias. The Razor's Edge could be a great move added to The Drifter's arsenal which could help boost Elias back up in the WWE ranks.
